    tough question

    From Leland’s gross pay of p dollars last week, t percent was deducted for taxes and then s dollars was deducted for savings. What amount of Leland’s gross pay last week remained after these two deductions?


    (1) p - s = 244
    (2) pt = 7,552



    SPOILER: C

    p(1-t) -s is the amount that will be left after deducing tax and savings.

    p(1-t)-s = p-s-pt.

    1. Insufficient
    2. Insufficient.

    But together they are sufficient.

    So
    IMO C
